thanks for the tips, but the thing is he isn't even playing the game for awhile, it's when he loads the level then it reboots. I think it could be bad RAM, thing is he is able to load the level with either stick in there by itself but when there are 2 in there it wont load the level. I'll have...

My friend just got a second stick of Corsair 512mb PC 3200 C2 ram and when he tries to play LOTR Battle for Middle Earth the system reboots when he's trying to start a level. He has an older system but is running a P4 2.53 with 2 sticks of 512 Corsair PC3200 C2 in an Asus P4PE MB. I tried to...

my friend said he wasn't even able to put the ram into slot 3, i thought that it wasn't allowed to put double sided ram into the 3rd slot. he said he already did flash to the latest bios and it still doesn't work. any other ideas? could it be that the ram isnt matched so he's having problems...

My friend has an older system but is running a P4 2.53 with 2 sticks of 512 Corsair PC3200 C2 in an Asus P4PE MB and when he tries to play LOTR Battle for Middle Earth the system reboots when he's trying to start a level. I tried to make everything stock speeds with the lowest RAM settings and...

I was also thinking of getting this board and read some sprinkled reports of probs with the non -E board and ATI video cards. I have a 9500pro tweaked to 9700 and wanted to keep my video card. So anyone know if it's ok with the P4C800-E board?

Well here is my update. It's been two days and I've played my game for a couple hrs both days. Seems to be ok so far with no crashes. I guess it must have been my o/c. I dropped my fsb by 1mhz to something that i knew was stable and so now it seems to be ok. So hopefully it'll be ok from...

My system isn't brand new. Had it since Sep 02. Haven't done any changes to config except change vid card from G4 Ti4200 to ATI Radeon 9500 pro. But i made the change to the video card back in January 03.

That's not too conforting....what did the HDD ultimately do, completely stop working?

The weird thing is that I've had my system overclocked for awhile now and played games on my system with it overclocked and never had this happened to me before. So I dunno if it is really the OC that is the prob. But i guess i can try that too.

I was playing Spinter Cell and Age of Mythology. Not sure if it's the temp thing, but i'm running 30deg C idle and under load in prime i maxed out at 42deg C. I'm not sure if gaming would get hotter than prime, i'll have to check that out. It's weird cuz this isn't the first time i've...

I have a WD 100GB SE HD and when I have been playing a game for about 1-2 hrs the hard drive just shuts down and then the computer reboots as in reposts. It doesn't happen all the time but has happened about 4-5 times in the last 1-2 months. I don't know what is wrong. It seems to only...

bump

Sweet!!! I just did the mod on the stock Intel fan and i'm at 31deg idle and 46deg at load. And i just applied the AS3. Hopefully it can drop some more when the as3 gets "worked in". That dropped like 5 deg at load from before i did the mod, so that is VERY cool. :D I actually screwd...

2 deg doesn't seem like THAT much of an improvement. Although it can mean a system is stable or not if u bump it up 1-2 mhz. One thing i was wondering was how much a decent heatsink and fan will lower the temp by compared to the stock Intel fan. Cuz i would rather make a free mod of the stock...

wow that is pretty good, hooligan. I was thinking of getting the asus -V board, but decided on the -E board cuz it would have future support of hyperthreading. But wow 3.1 is pretty good. What date is ur cpu?
